Brampton Transit and MiWay are again joining forces to provide new express service along Dixie Road between Bramalea Terminal and Dixie Transitway Station, starting Tuesday, September 8.
Both agencies will operate buses along the route Mondays to Fridays during rush hours, supplementing local service along Brampton’s 18 Dixie and MiWay’s 5 Dixie routes. (In this case, 18 + 5 = 185, the new route’s number for both transit services.)
Buses drop off or pick up passengers every 15 minutes at stops:
- in Bramalea Terminal;
- on Dixie Road at Clark Boulevard, Steeles Avenue East, Drew Road, Derry Road East, Mid-Way Boulevard, Courtneypark Drive East, Meyerside Drive, Britannia Road East, Matheson Boulevard East and Eglinton Avenue East and
- at Dixie Transitway Station.
Remember that Brampton Transit and MiWay drivers accept a transfer from the other system, if you present it to the second driver before the time-limit on your transfer has passed. However, they don’t accept the other system’s passes as valid fare.
If you use PRESTO fare cards, MiWay drivers don’t accept Brampton Transit period passes, unless you started your trip with Brampton Transit. If you use PRESTO, you can transfer for free between Brampton Transit and MiWay buses within the two-hour transfer “window”.
